Piper

Patricia

Nickname:

Favourite Tune :

Highland Cathedral

Hidden Talent :

I tell non pipers, that I can play the bagpipes.. it isn’t so much of a talent yet, but those who can’t hear me don’t know. I am the best Milli Vanilli the band has ever heard!

If I had a warning label what would it be?

Don’t let me open the second bottle of red wine..

Journey to becoming a P&D musician :

I always wanted to learn the bagpipes. I received a chanter as a gift when I was in my 20’s but didn’t have the time. Fast forward 20 years and my daughter found this guy on Tinder who played. They became a couple and Jess became my inspiration and my connection to the band. So here I am!

Best Band Story :

There was a streaker at the Almonte Highland Games. The guy had his face painted like braveheart and yelled ‘Freedom!!’
